The Medical Times, the leading
homeopathic journal of New York
says: awe do not believe there is O
single member of the faculties of the
so.called homeopathic college in
New York and Philadelphia who
does not almost daily administer
remedies which in no sense can be
called homeopathic. In name they
are sec tarlan, fighting with all their
force for name which binds them to
exclusive practice, and yet in the
sick-room unsectarian, broad, and
liberal, bringing to their aid facts
and suggestions culled from large
reading of the literature and ex-
perience OF all schools. DIR. T. #.
Allen, at one time one of the most
enthusiastic apostles ofso called hi gh,
dilution homeopathy, now admits
that it is unreliable and delusive, and
says that homeopathy should be
taught in all medical schools, but it
should constitute only part of the
course of study. We do not hold that
homeopathy is the exclusive and only
law of healing"

There is no Disgusting the fact that
the Republican party of Kentucky
has made material gains. Bradley's
vote is 1900 votes larger than any
other Republican candidate ever re.
ceived in State election. This gain
cannot be attributed to Democratic
apathy. The addition of 5000 votes is
not of itself alarming, since this is but
a natural and reasonable increase OF
the vote during the last three years.
But there has not been correspond
ing increase of the Democratic vote,
which shows that while the Republic
cans are organized, active and alert,
The Democrats are careless and apa-
thetic and have permitted the vote to
fall 5000 under Cleveland's vote.
These dual causes have cut down the
party msjority from $4,000 to 1900,
reduction of one half. Another
such victory as Gen. Buckner's and
the State would be lost. Democrats
must look the issue squarely in the
face in future enthusiastically is
no longer certain State for their
ticket. The State is still reliabI,
Democratic If the people vote, but
The don't-care style of the past will
not do for the future. A party with
voting strength of 12S,0O0 is for
mldable enough to call for better
and closer organization that the Dem.
ocratic party has heretofore had to
oppose a party supposed to be hope
lessly in the minority. Democrats
must wake up. Every vote will be
needed next year TO put our majori-
ty back where it ought to be.

over One Euaarss votsa for the
Ohio Valley Proposition.

Last Saturday was day long to
be remembered by the citizens of
Cadiz. 1t was day to mark an era
in its history. Since the Ohio Valley
Railway Company submitted Its
proposition to the town to subscribe
$4,000 stock the question has been
sgitated by the people of Cadiz. 1t
was conceded by every one that the
proposition would meet with consid-
cradle favor by majority of the cit
liens, but no one thought for mo-
ment that il would be received with
such universal favor.
The voting began early, and most
of tho opponents of the measure cast
their votes against il early. The
advocates of the measure then began
to vote for it, and voted steadily all
day until the polls were closed be-
tween five and six o'clock and after
the polls closed several came up to
cast their votes for it. The measure
received 103 votes, there being but z
votes cast against it, A number of
friends of the measure were absent
from town, but will be here on the
9th, when the district will vote ON
taking $4,000 stock.
There was but little electioneer-
ing done for or against it, nor, 50 far
as is known, there was not one cent
spent to control the vote. Every col
ored person who voted, save one, vo-
ted for the measure; and that one
has been employed as a hand in the
building of the /. A. 81 L. Whether
he was prompted TO vote against the
measure ON account of undue influ-
ence, we leaye it for others to divine.
AS reason why he voted against ii
he said that he had been told that if
the proposition carried that the poll
tax would be SO ON the head, and that
he could not stand the increase.
Out Of about $50 voters in the cor
poration, 103 for the measure indi-
Gates beyond all doubt that there is
strong sentiment In Cadiz for the
railroad. 1t shows 10 the outside
world that we want railroad, and
that we are willing 10 aid in paying
for it. That the measure is fast gain
ing friends, we have never doubted.
We again urge upon the friends OF
the proposition TO use moderation in
discussing the question. Do not be-
come angry. Mild and intelligent
arguments are convincing, while
heated and angry discussions drive
persons away. Persons voted last
Saturday for the railroad who were
very much opposed to it two weeks
ago. There are those who are bitter
iy against it now, who, in our opin-
ion, will favor it before the election
if the matter is properly explained to
them.
There are those who say that they
oppose the measure from principle,
but who base their arguments upon
interest. To such itdevolyes upon us
to convince them that it is to their
interest to vote for the measure. When
you succeed in doing that, principle,
like an old, long-standing debt, is
swallowed up by interest. Show
them that this is only business
proposition.
The Railroad Company proposes to
give us about twenty miles of railroad
worth $350000 and $4,000 stock III
its company for$30, 900 in bonds, and,
aking the view that we do of the
measure, it looks very strange that
We should not accept it quickly, and
Jay thank you, too,-Telephone.

$4,000 Saved Annually in Wheat.

An experienced member of the
flour trade estimates that the three
flour mills of Hopkinsville would
save $4,000 annually in freights on
shipments If there was a competing
railroad. The farmers of Hopkins
kinsyille District are directly inter-
ested in this matter. Evansville
Mills ship flourto Charleston, s. c.,
"a cents cheaper than Hopkinsville
Mills do, owing to railroad competi-
ton. This extra tax of "a cents
comes out of the farmers pockets for
in order that they may compete with
Evansville Mills the Hopkinsville
Mills pay that much less for the five
bushels of wheat which make one
barrel of flour. Let every farmer in
Hopkinsvile District vote to abolish
this tax of five cents bushel on his
wheat.

We are informed that many of the
good people Of Christian county are
heartily tired of the prohibition ex-
pertinent There is abundant proof
that 1t Is not success. There is less
whisky than previous to the passage
Of prohibitory law, but even the most
sanguine friends and advocates of
prohibition do not claim that it is a
thorough success in Christian. Those
who "know the ropes" can and do
procure liquor in Hopkinsville when.
ever they feel inclined to do so. One
or The finest arguments of the prohi-
Dltionlsts was that the cost of crimi-
nal prosecution would be decreased.
If the Grand jury OF Christian coun.
ty does Its duty there will be more
indictments found against yio!ators
OF this law than was ever found in
one term against parties who com.
mitted crime under the influence Of
liquor.-Clarksville Democrat.
SO far as we know, not one of the
"good people" of Christian county
who voted for it is tired of the pro.
hibition law. A great many of them
are tired of seeing the law violated.
but they are hiding their time and
when the grand jury meets next
month somebody will hear something
drop. A good many indictments
were found In March aud Others will
be found in September next and #

be entirely broken up. The county
prohibition law is observed every.
where excepting in this city and thu
reason IL is not enforced here is THAI
but few of the officers whose duty il
is to enforce it are in sympathy with
The law. The law is nevertheless
stronger now in the county than ever
before and there never has been
time when there was SO little drunk
enness to be seen on the streets. Tn,
SOUTH KENTUcKIAN did not advocate
the law, and it was boycotted by pro.
for not doing so, bul
these are facts that any truthful man
in Hopkin'ville will testify TO. That
The law is violated is no argument

A Case Of Deafness Cured

L. Cheney a Co., Toledo, O.-Dear Sirs
About three months ago, noticing u lettei
addressed TO you in the Bee from Gen. Sleyin
in reference TO the cure OF his son by the us'
OF Halls Catarrh Cure, we were induced L
commence the use Of IL for our daughter
Nellie now fourteen years old, who has beer
suffering from catarrh for about eight years
during which time she has been treated by
one OF the best physicians in the city. We
have also tried the use OF almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no more
success than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth open
to keep her from stranglinR. Her hearing
had also became affected. We were afraid
that she would never recover. We have
now used six bottles OF HALLS CATARRn
CURE. and we believe Nellie to be entirely
cured. In few days after commencing the
use OF 1t we noticed decided change for the
better, and from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she ereathes as easily as
any one. She sleeps well and her hearing Ia
perfectly good, We feel that the disease il
entirely removed. We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling that 1t is due you, and with
the hope that others may be benefited in like
manner. We can hardly realize that such n
change could be effected in 30 short q time
after battling with the disease so long. We
are still u.ing the remedy at intervals, as 1t
seems to build up her system. You are at
liberty to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours, truly,
